Re: [arch-general] vi/vim/gvim without ruby support
Allan, the ruby in testing as of 3 days ago. That would be 1.8 I think. we can build gvim(the only one with ruby enabled) without ruby support for the time being. I don't think that many people actually script vim with ruby and there aren't all that many ruby-vim scripts out there. Now I can be wrong, but I think it's only fair to NOT let gvim stall the ruby packages. Once we have ruby 1.9* support in vim we enable it again. No big deal. As for the OP: vim is a symlink to vim-normal because upon installation of gvim it becomes a symlink to vim-full (more powerful, better script support, etc ... all the bells and whistles) where gvim will be a symlink to the same binary it just automatically invokes it with GUI support. That's just how vim works. -T On Sat, 09 May 2009, Allan McRae wrote:

Hi all, Tobias, i`m without a machine, so, i can`t check the vim version. Did you compile new vim with witch version of ruby?
It will be with ruby-1.8 because 1.9 is not in the repos yet... I am waiting for the vi(m)'s to move out of [testing] before I do the ruby update.

I have a ruby script that I use, but don't let me stop you.
